Plugin installs clone without initializing submodules, so the declared skills paths were empty. Vendor database-skills and skills content in-tree, track upstream SHAs in .skills-versions.json, and sync via scripts/sync-skills.sh / the weekly workflow.

.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonwere empty and skills never loaded.This PR vendors the skill content in-tree instead of using submodules, while keeping upstream
